Bled lies in valley next to the second biggest lake in Slovenia.

It is a very popular turist spot because it offers a lot of Activities like swimming, kayaking, canoeing, skydiving, parachuting andmore, and it even has an island in the

middle of the lake. You can also go mountainering or enjoy the

Vintgar;it’s a walk down a cannyon with the river Sava Bohinjka.

If there is a feature that describes Bohinj it’s; Slovenia’s biggest

Idrija used to be a minig town. In the mine where the men

worked they where diging for mercury. But the amount they

dug up was stagering; before the mine was shut down they

suplied 64% of the worlds mercury suplies. But now the mine

On this slide I will describe to you an unbelivable Phenomenon that happens here at Cerkniško jezro,

actualy the lake is the phenomenon. It’s never there for an

entire year. In the dry season it goes down holes called

požiralniki, and in the wet season it comes back up up holes called

bruhalniki and via the rain. And if you ask the locals if they can

describe the lake in one sentence they will say: jzeru je, jzera

nej.

Koper or Caprodistria in Italian, is Slovenias only town to have

cargo port and it’s big. It is Slovenias sixth biggest town and

students on there way to Croatia for there 5 day field trip.

Jesenice is also an industrial town, but it has stealworks

Instead of shipping, but then again how can you have

shipping in a valley. The steal factory used to be a lot bigger

than it is now. Roughly half of the factory was torn down so

that more people could live there. Nowdays Jesenice has one

of the bigger hospitals in Slovenia.
